A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 289 These Civilizations Are Insignificant

The wormhole-type negative quantum strike was so efficient and rapid that advanced civilizations had no idea what was happening in the region where the wormholes connecting them to other universes were located. They could only be certain that opening the wormholes would soon attract some kind of attack from the Tower of Babel swarm.

This unknown attack is terrifying, so terrifying that it is beyond comprehension. Even if advanced civilizations try to defend against it with black holes, it will be to no avail.

As for the microcosms, the current universe is already enveloped by a mother universe. Even if those microcosms close all the wormholes connecting the current universe's spacetime, they cannot escape the swarm's control.

Furthermore, after learning the approximate area occupied by these advanced civilizations, the swarm directly initiated the freeze cycle, trapping them in the microcosm. For those advanced civilizations that had already escaped into the microcosm, it was even more convenient; they didn't even need to determine the scope of their civilizations, and could directly execute the freeze cycle on that microcosm.

In this way, the swarm of bees easily captured a large number of high-tech civilizations without suffering any damage.

The more advanced the technology in warfare, the less obvious or even non-existent these elements become.

Leaving aside distant examples, what's so exciting about pressing a missile launch button on Earth?

Lu Shang's situation was similar. He issued orders, and the swarm of bees obeyed. The whole process was no different from pressing a missile button. So when he heard the news that all the hostile high-tech civilizations that were still alive in the universe had been captured, he felt nothing, just like someone passing by had stepped on an ant.

"Oh, I see," Lu Shang replied casually.

The reporting medium asked Lu Shang, "What should we do with these captured civilizations?"

An entire universe of advanced civilizations was thus packaged into a microcosm by the swarm using the Freeze Reincarnation technique. Even though these advanced civilizations were very rare, their numbers were still enormous on the grand scale of the entire universe.

This time, the Babel Tower bee colony has had a very fruitful harvest.

Lu Shang said, "Doesn't Rabi's side still need some civilizations to conduct experiments? Send them over there."

"OK."

Lu Shang, having severed his connection with the medium, unconsciously stretched and yawned.

He yawned. Although Lu Shang's physical body was protected by the bee swarm and he would not get tired no matter how much he worked, he still felt mentally exhausted.

As Lu Shang lay on the sofa, clearing his mind, he couldn't help but recall the key factor in the failure of those high-tech civilizations this time—the complete failure of their intelligence war!

Learn from the lessons of the enemy's defeat so as not to make the same mistakes ourselves.

Those advanced civilizations were unable to decipher the psionic energy of the swarm, but they learned of the existence of the swarm's psionic network by capturing swarm creatures.

Therefore, a simple and crude psionic radar was designed.

The core of this psionic radar is to capture the brains of bee swarms on the battlefield and then use chemical drugs to keep the brains of the bee swarms in an unconscious, unconscious state.

Even in a state of unconsciousness, the swarm organism remains connected to the swarm network. Then, the swarm organism's brain physically docks with a specially developed brain-computer interface to read and translate the biological signals from the swarm organism's brain.

In this way, a psionic radar was created.

The brains of swarm organisms can sense psionic energy, so we use the brains of swarm organisms as radar for detection. Because of this, microscopic organisms can easily expose their existence. Their size is so small that it is no longer useful; the swarm network directly exposes their existence and location.

Therefore, the medium beings that Lu Shang sent out, which were not connected to the swarm psionic network, were as if they were invisible to those high-tech civilizations, and the intelligence war was completely one-sided and crushed.

These advanced civilizations were already technologically inferior to the swarms. With Lu Shang leading a large number of swarm creatures into the war, they immediately made up for Rabi's disadvantage in size. Now that their intelligence base has been directly lost due to the medium creatures, the outcome of the war is no longer in doubt.

In his recollection, Lu Shang discovered that the essence of invisibility was not actually making oneself invisible, but rather making oneself invisible to others.

To give a simple example, imagine there are only two people in the world. If you use two fingers to poke out the other person's eyes, and a blind person is created, then you are invisible to that person. If you also remove their sense of hearing, taste, smell, and touch, then you are completely invisible to that person.

The amazing thing about this is that you haven't actually become invisible; you've just deprived the other person of their perception, making them unable to see you.

Once you achieve the goal of "others not being able to see you", you have achieved a state of invisibility, regardless of the method used in the process.

In this war, the swarm easily defeated those high-tech civilizations by using 'invisibility'.

So, besides all the means of observing bee colonies, is there also a civilization that is 'invisibly' spying on everything about the bee colony, ready to easily defeat it at any time?

It's hard to say; it may exist, or it may not. But what is certain is that swarm detection technology is not the most comprehensive detection technology for the cosmic ocean. So…

Thinking about this, Lu Shang felt terrible.

If the bee colony were to face such a situation one day, all strategies, plans, and thoughts would be useless. The entire Tower of Babel bee colony would perish instantly. Such an opponent is simply impossible to defeat.

"Speaking of which, is there a counter-surveillance method that can absolutely determine whether you are being spied on?"

"This..." Lu Shang fell into thought.

Just as Lu Shang was racking his brains, a medium creature exploring the lost universe of the bee swarm suddenly contacted him.

"We came into contact with a bee colony led by Kasha."

Lu Shang nodded in agreement, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was amiss and asked, "If we've made contact, why isn't our swarm network connecting with them? Didn't you tell them how to restore their psionic energy?"

The medium replied, "They discovered the way to restore psionic energy before they contacted the hive, but Kasha refused to connect to our hive network. They are currently at war with a very difficult opponent, and the war is extremely tough. They are worried about letting their opponent discover our presence."

"Oh?" Lu Shang raised an eyebrow.

……

Kasha commands the bee colony network.

"Insufficient microorganisms! Bee colonies need more microorganisms!"

"Microscopic organisms are under attack!"

"Planetary life forms need microscopic organisms to provide attack coordinates!"

……

Messages are transmitted instantly within the bee colony network, and the content of the messages alone shows just how busy each bee is.

This is a very strange war. From a human perspective, only swarms of bees are active on the cosmic battlefield. Each swarm of bees is fighting while enduring attacks from the enemy and obeying commands.

The busiest member of this bee colony is Kasha, the mastermind who commands the entire colony. She has to process massive amounts of information every moment to deal with enemy attacks.

Before long, two lines of text appeared in the vision of the mastermind, Kaisa.

"You creatures of the Tower of Babel bee swarm are dying every moment, yet our numbers are endless!"

"Final victory will belong to our Mecaron civilization!"
